Coming from Athens, Corinthia is the first prefecture you come to in the Peloponnese, the first sign of warmth and excitement.

The aromas of the sea, the mountains, the harvest of grapes and currants are all-encompassing, accompanied by the sound of bees buzzing around the sheds where the currants are drying.

Here you'll rediscover some old Greek myths, learn that Nemean wine is called "Herakles blood" and that retsina is the teardrop of a certain wood nymph. 
You'll find out about gods, nereids and mortals. Zeus and Apollo.

You'll come upon columns, sanctuaries and ancient palaces.
